Your Problem: Skin Redness

Living in a region where the sun shines all-year round, it's common to experience skin redness on the face. Whether it's pimples, sun burn or general discolouration, these killer products will brighten, illuminate and give your skin an ‘au naturel' glow.

Your Problem: Skin Dullness

Fast-paced city life can cause us to neglect our skin needs, leading to dehydration to tiredness. We're loving these color-correcting products as they work to neutralise dull skin tones and brighten dark spots, creating a fresh and vibrant look.

Your Problem: Dark Circles

Those weekly Ladies Nights getting the better of your under-eyes? Getting rid of dark circles is one of life's many challenges, especially if concealer is the only product you're relying on. That's where color correcting comes in; it neutralises the problem area while concealer works to hide it.

Orange color corrector is best suited for dark skin tones whereas yellow is used for fairer skin with purple dark circles.

If your dark circles aren't too bad, you can mix salmon-pink, peach or orange corrector shades with the concealer.

If your dark circles are noticeably dark-brown, your best option is to apply the orange-peach corrector first and then the concealer on top.

To apply, lightly pat the corrector with your fingertips for an even blend – don't smudge or rub it.

A beauty blender is great for reaching harder areas like the inner corner of your eye, and it also gives more coverage. It's best to use a beauty blender if your dark circles are intense, otherwise you're better off using your finger to dab.
